However Lobb spoke highly of Scheer’s resume, saying his experience in will serve him well.

Scheer had strong support in Huron-Bruce; it was his third most supportive riding in Ontario. Scheer took 72.08% of the votes here, while Maxime Bernier took 27.92% of the votes.

The only other places in Ontario where Scheer received over 70% of the vote were in Perth-Wellington with 72.65% of the vote (Bernier took 27.35%) and Lambton-Kent-Middlesex where he received 70.56% of the vote (Bernier took 29.44%). Other neighbouring counties were also highly supportive of Scheer.

Lobb said he believes this is because of all the farmers in the area.

“There are a lot of farmers who are members of the Conservative Party, and they did not like what they heard from Maxime on agriculture,” he said.

Maxime is well known for his stance against Canada’s supply-managed agricultural system.

Lobb called Scheer a “principled conservative who will look at the big picture in the Canadian economy.”

Lobb said he has a “spark”.

“He’s a young, energetic guy […] He’s going to work hard to keep Trudeau on his toes every day.”
